Missoni Vintage Sequin Chevron Open Shoulder Maxi Dress

Famed for their iconic kaleidoscopic knits, Missoni crafts jersey fabric into comfortable, creative clothing. Since the conception of the brand in the 1950s, Missoni has mastered the art of pattern mixing and color combinations. From the early 2000s, this exquisite Missoni maxi dress exudes a timeless, effortless chic.

Done in a semi-transparent knit fabric that is covered in clear, iridescent sequins, the dress features a chevron pattern in shades of black, lavender, yellow, pale pink, and light turquoise. The cold shoulder bodice is introduced with a plunging V neckline framed by two black straps on clear Lucite loops, creating a striking visual contrast with the dramatic open shoulder long sleeves.
